A terminal-first coding agent with plugin marketplaces for skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, and language-server integrations.
Claude Code extends through curated and community plugin marketplaces. Plugins can package reusable skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, and code-intelligence tooling.
The distribution decision is not merely which model to use; it is whether the workflow should be a project skill, an integration through MCP, a repeatable command, or a marketplace plugin.
Capability map
Each capability has a distinct user job, setup path, governance note, and first-party source. We do not publish unsupported combinations.
Code Intelligence
Claude Code code-intelligence plugins connect supported language servers so the agent can surface diagnostics and navigate definitions, references, types, symbols, implementations, and call hierarchies. This is a different capability from generic code generation because it depends on a compatible local language-server binary and project language.

Claude Code marketplace plugins can bundle preconfigured MCP servers for services such as source control, project management, infrastructure, communications, design, and monitoring. A credible setup guide needs to separate the workflow benefit from the permissions, authentication, and tool exposure required by the connected service.
View setup and governance guidancePlugins
Claude Code plugins package reusable developer capabilities such as commands, skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, and language-server connections. The official and community marketplace model creates a discoverable path for developers, while project and user scopes provide a clear way to decide who should receive the plugin.
View setup and governance guidanceSkills
Claude Code plugins can provide skills for repeatable development work, including commit workflows, pull-request review, security guidance, and agent-development tasks. A skill page should help a developer choose project versus user scope, identify required dependencies, and understand the specific trigger or task it improves.
